Firefly Openlink
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
Contents |
Requirements
- Lots of good music
- Something to play lots of your good music on - Like a Roku Soundbridge
- Or iTunes on your pc
Installation - Build From Source
Dependancies
Development Tools
- Install the Precompiled C development environment, running on the LS
- Get the source tarballs and compile
libid3tag
cd .. wget http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mad/libid3tag-0.15.1b.tar.gz tar -xvzf libid3tag-0.15.1b.tar.gz cd libid3tag-0.15.1b ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make install
sqlite
cd .. wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.3.17.tar.gz tar -xvzf sqlite-3.3.17.tar.gz cd sqlite-3.3.17 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make install
OPTIONAL
Ogg Lib
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.1.3.tar.gz tar -xvzf libogg-1.1.3.tar.gz cd libogg-1.1.3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make install
Vorbis Lib
cd .. wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.1.2.tar.gz tar -xvzf libvorbis-1.1.2.tar.gz cd libvorbis-1.1.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make install
These libraries need to be registered with the linker. This can be done by creating a file called ld.so.conf in /etc as follows;
| nano |
|
| if you don't already have nano you can follow the instructions on the nano page to either get the static binaries for your LS or compile it yourself |
nano /etc/ld.so.conf
edit the file to add the line;
/usr/local/lib
save and exit. Then type
ldconfig -v
verify that the ogg and vorbis libs are listed.
Flac
cd .. wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/flac/flac-1.1.2.tar.gz tar -xvzf flac-1.1.2.tar.gz cd flac-1.1.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make install
The flac libs also need to be registered, so;
ldconfig -v
Howl
REQUIRED FOR MULTIPLE INSTANCES
cd .. (get back to /tmp directory) wget http://www.porchdogsoft.com/download/howl-1.0.0.tar.gz tar -xvzf howl-1.0.0.tar.gz cd howl-1.0.0 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make install
The howl libs need to be registered, so (assuming you've added the line to /etc/ld.so.conf as above);
ldconfig -v
Get and Compile Firefly
You will need to check out [the nightlies] and change the address below to the latest version
cd /tmp wget http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org/dl.php?FILE=mt-daapd-svn-1463.tar.gz
Untar and enter folder (replace with whatever latest version is)
tar -zxvf mt-daapd-svn-1463.tar.gz cd mt-daapd-svn-1463
Either - (assuming flac, ogg and howl built)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-browse --enable-query --enable-mdns --enable-howl --with-howl-includes=/usr/local/include/howl --with-id3tag=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-sqlite3 --enable-flac --enable-oggvorbis
Or
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-browse --enable-query --enable-mdns --with-id3tag=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-sqlite3
make install mkdir /etc/mt-daapd cp contrib/mt-daapd.* /etc/mt-daapd/ cd /etc/mt-daapd/
nano mt-daapd.conf
You probably need to change the location of the music files for example to /mnt/media; the web_root location to /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-root; the plugin directory to /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/plugins; the firefly database directory to for example /mnt/media; and the playlist directory to for example /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.playlist. Check that all the directories you use actually exist on your installation. If you cannot access the Firefly web interface, check that the music file and web_root location exist, and remember Linux is case sensitive i.e. /mnt/media and /mnt/Media are different directories.
(allow any user to write to mt-daapd.conf to allow web interface to modify it)
chmod o=rw mt-daapd.conf
Startup Script
Create a startup script;
nano /etc/init.d/firefly
Add all this:
#! /bin/sh
set -e
# /etc/init.d/firefly: start and stop the DAAP daemon
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd
DAAPD_OPTS=""
DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
if ! grep -q /usr/local/lib /etc/ld.so.conf; then
echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig
fi
echo -n "Starting DAAP daemon: firefly"
if pidof $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo " apparently already running."
exit 0
fi
if [ ! -s "$DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE" ]; then
echo " missing or empty config file $DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE"
exit 1
fi
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \
--exec $DAEMON -- -c "$DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE" $DAAPD_OPTS
echo "."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping DAAP daemon: firefly"
killall $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1
echo "."
;;
restart)
set +e
echo -n "Restarting DAAP daemon: firefly"
killall $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 2
if ! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \
--exec $DAEMON -- -c "$DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE" $DAAPD_OPTS
then
echo "start failed?"
fi
echo "."
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/firefly {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Mark the file as executable;
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/firefly
Create a symbolic link to this file in the startup dir;
cd /etc/rc2.d && ln -s /etc/init.d/firefly S20firefly
cd /etc/rc6.d && ln -s /etc/init.d/firefly K20firefly
cd /etc/rc0.d && ln -s /etc/init.d/firefly K20firefly
Run it
Should be able to start it up now
/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd
or better still use the start/stop script
/etc/init.d/firefly start
This errors because it looks for mt-daapd.conf in /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf ??
I've just linked to it
mkdir /usr/local/etc ln -s /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf
Try it now
/etc/init.d/firefly start
Issue top and you should see mt-daapd at the top of the list -
top
Once that dissapears (it has finished checking your music library) you should be able to see it via the web interface
http://<LINKSTATION-IP>:3689
You can put whatever you like as user but the passwd is mt-daapd
That should show you something like this
Run over to your Roku Soundbridge and check if its working - then fire up iTunes on your pc and see all your files
To add multiple instances
Create new subdirectories under /usr/local/var/cache/mt-daapd which correspond to the databases required. eg.
mkdir /usr/local/var/cache/mt-daapd/albums/
Set appropriate permissions
chown nobody:nogroup /usr/local/var/cache/mt-daapd/albums chmod u+w /usr/local/var/cache/mt-daapd/albums
Create a new startup mt-daapd.conf with the appropriate path to the database dir (eg mt-daapd.albums.conf)
Modify the starup script to start mt-daapd using this conf file;
/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd -c /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.albums.conf
The startup script must also start Howl (mDNSResponder)
/usr/local/bin/mDNSResponder
(this should be started before the mt-daapd instances)
